Art Hotel Osaka Bay Tower Ichiokamotomachi Reviews from The Last Year
The breakfast included deal does not include the breakfast on level 51
The hotel is located not far from the train station, however the walk path from the train station is via underground tunnel where there isn't a list if you travel with heavy luggage or with elders. The hotel rooms in the high rise building are mixed with residential apartments and commercial offices depending on the floor of your hotel room. The flooring, carpet and smell can given you a sense of aging. The staffs at the counter are average, however they do try to provide a good service. The biggest surprise to me was that the buffet breakfast included in the rate are for the very simple breakfast at the 2nd floor, if you would like to go have buffet at level 51, then you have to pay on top to upgrade, which in my view isnt cheap. None of the two breakfasts are part of the hotel, they are separate businesses which work with the hotel - thats probably why people are still given vouchers. Price for the hotel alone isn't bad, The area is convenient where there are supermarkets, pharmacies and etc.
Good location
I spent one week in a Superior Queen room in September/October. It was a decent size room. Not a lot of free space, had to keep stuff in my suitcases. I was out most of the time anyways. Housekeeping could be a little inconsistent probably depending on which does your room, one threw out a bag I was using to put my spare shoes in that I left next to my shoes. Overall it's good hotel and good price. I would say three stars out of five. I wouldn't mind staying at it again. I'm giving an extra star because of the service. I was checked in by Nanami M. who was very personable and helpful. She also was the last person I interacted with, after I checked out and explored more I went to retrieve my luggage and she was at the desk so I asked her if there's a taxi stand nearby. I was transferring to another hotel in Osaka closer to a venue I was going to the next day. She told me where the taxis are located, said she'd go check to see if there was one I could use, and call me one if there wasn't. She also helped me take my suitcases to it and made sure they had the right address. There's a laundry room on B1, it's marked on the elevator, you swipe your keycard to enter. Standard machine I found at a different hotel in Tokyo. Their machines only takes ¥100 coins. ¥600 for the 2 hour wash and dry cycle so a little more than the other hotel in Tokyo. Machines didn't look to be cleaned regularly. It might be confusing for you arriving there at first. It's connected to a shopping mall area with onsen. If you follow the signs, depending on which direction you come from, you might see the Burger King and Vie de France. The entrance is across from the FamilyMart, it looks like it's part of the mall because there's like a cafe and bakery inside, you can take the escalator downstairs to the lobby or go left to the elevators. It's close to Bentencho station. It's very convenient if you need to use the Chuo Line. If you need to use the JR lines, like Osaka Loop Line, it's a bit more of a walk as you'll have to go downstairs of the 2B exit out onto the street and go through the underpass to go across the street to JR Bentencho station. They have luggage storage with locking cables you can put through your suitcase handles. Very crowded though.
Good Value Hotel Near Universal Studios Japan
My family spent a total of 4 nights at The Art Hotel Osaka Bay, 1 night in a Triple Room and 3 nights in a Quadruple. Connected to the JR Bentenchō Station along the Osaka Loop line, it was our best choice due to its proximity to Universal Studios Japan. But being on the Osaka Loop Line means all the other tourist attractions are easily accessible. The rooms are spacious, modern and clean. We loved the simple interior and there was enough space for all our luggage, 6 of them! We were given rooms on the 23rd and 24th floors and we enjoyed fantastic views of the Osaka skyline! Toiletries are provided as in most of Japanese hotels. The beds and pillows are comfortable. The toilet and bath are separate which is good. The staff are courteous and helpful. When you go out through the hotel's 2nd floor exit, you will find restaurants, cafes, Burger King, shops, a convenience store and a drug store and the Solaniwa Onsen. It is also where the footbridge to JR Bentenchō Station is accessed. We booked through Booking.com and found a really good bargain which gave us a good value for our money. I would love to try their breakfast at the 51st floor and the famous Solaniwa Onsen next time. Please note the hotel offers free shuttle service to Universal Studios Japan but only during weekends. The North Exit of the Bentencho Station which is connected to the hotel by a footbridge has no elevator. The escalator is only for going up. If you have big luggage, you have to take the South Exit for the elevator and go down to the underpass to cross the street and walk to the hotel's main entrance. To summarize, we had a nice stay at the Art Hotel Osaka Bay Tower. We will stay again when in Osaka area.
Would come back to this hotel and highly recommend it!
Booked 4 nights here with breakfast at a very reasonable price for husband and I and our 11 year old son. I booked 3 single beds. The room was huge and the view was spectacular! Pjs and slippers provided along with kettle, fridge, tea and coffee etc. plugs and usb next to each bed with light switches. Bed was very comfy and there were extra pillows in the room if needed. Had separate area to hang clothes as well and place suitcases and bags. Separate toilet from shower and bath- lots of room in there. Hotel was spotless! Check in was nice and easy. Breakfast vouchers were given for each day we were there at check in. Breakfast was perfect for us-buffet style. Had things like sausages, eggs, bacons etc. Different types of bread and rolls and a toaster there. Fruit salad with yoghurt. Coffee and variety of teas. Definitely enough to set us up for the day. Hotel located perfectly at train station. Found it very easy to get to universal studios. Shops all around for food etc. would absolutely recommend this hotel and if I was coming back I would be sure to book this one

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Give the best answerAny seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

Give the best answerRestaurant Bought/Canceled Their Own Reservation
I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.

Give the best answerQuestion about postpaid listings for prepaid bookings
I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
Major Issue for Seller
My money is being held hostage! Can you please remove my refund medal as I am below the 11% threshold and should be able to withdraw my full daily amount now? I have been teying for a long time to get a reply on this. Major issue for people looking to do good/right like you ask and make positive sales. Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.

Give the best answerWell through rate holding money for 180 days
Just wanted to put this out there as I find it quite weird. AT will hold money if your sell through rate is to low. I find this strange as you would think that sell through rate should reflect more on AT not marketing their site well enough to generate sales. It seems weird to punish sellers for listings not selling.

I am having a tough time contacting and elucidating a response from AT Support. I had a listing at 6pm, which was a mistake as the actual listing reservation was at 11pm. This got somehow approved by AT, and a customer bought this from me for 6pm. I want to cancel this listing and refund customer , but there is no way of doing this ! This is so frustrating and making me lose hope on AT. Can someone help me please?

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!

I have a big ongoing and it also shows someone is working on my bid. Today I see there is a " Buy Instantly " option at my portfolio showing same price I've bid for a reservation. I'm a bit confused, since my money has already been deducted from my credit card for the bid, do I need to pay one more time for the Buy Instantly? If I choose Buy Instantly, can I cancel my bid ( while someone is working on it )? Thanks!
